Yes Senti, Nate did receive DCVax and as this report confirms

http://tinyurl.com/GBM-survivor-Nate-Bilinski

With approval from his oncologist, Nate underwent grueling tests to see if he was a suitable candidate for it. He was accepted in DC Vax, an immunotherapy treatment program which used Nate’s own cells to fight the cancer within him.


For two years, the collaboration was constant between Nate’s local oncology team and his clinical trial team at the U-M. After every treatment and every surgery, there were reports and emails exchanged to bring each other up to speed on Nate’s progress. The immunotherapy and six surgeries were done at the U-M, while his chemo and radiation were here.


The process worked well, so well that when Nate made it to the end of the clinical trial, no one quite knew what to do next. People rarely survived this and yet his tumor was gone. The clinical trial worked exactly the way the doctors intended.


Now, 5 years later, Nate is cancer free. His doctors aren’t as worried anymore about recurrence. He only takes medication for seizures, a side effect, though they’re rare.

As that report was in 2017 so it looks like he lived another 7 years after treatment.
